We forget that nature is dynamic... having gotten used to seeing it as perpetual macro trends. Where I live (dublin) we have a lot of urban foxes. There were there before, but over the last year their visibility and confidence has gone up hugely. Foxes are ordinarily very shy and stealthy, so you don't see them often. There are always notable exceptions. Certain places where foxes drop stealth. The airport, for example. Both foxes (and somewhat paradoxically) hares around Dublin airport behave like seagulls. 5km away, they're ghosts. Anyway... since covid, foxes have started behaving more like alley cats. I've seen them quarrel, hunt, walk 5 paces ahead of me on a sidewalk. Stealth doesn't seem to be a priority anymore. I don't think post-covid foxes will be like pre covid foxes. Foxes have changed.
